Re: Slow PTT Release

 

They may be low quality.... But you just solved your problem, and effectively showed that all the "Baofeng is garbage and doesn't work for packet" was far more unfounded bias against what is seen as an inferior product, and had very little to do with if it's capable of being used for packet or not... There are a boatload of people using Baofeng UV5R radios for packet with Direwolf quite successfully.

Hi,

Cheers Dana, that was it!!!? Disabling STE cured it :)? I Feel a bit of a fool for not spotting that in the manual :)

I will take the advice about Baofeng being rubbish (they are, I get quite bad pager breakthrough etc) - the only one I can find that seems to fit the bill without going for a shack-in-a-box is a Yeasu FT-25E.? But at the moment it's just an experiment with near dummy loads for antennas - I'll see if it can get it all working first.

Cheers again,

Mat.
